This week's spotlight is on The Disability Resource Center (DRC) here at UNLV! Here at the university, we strive for equity among all students and are constantly finding ways to better support all of our diverse student populations. Today we want to shed some light on this resource available to our UNLV students with disabilities. The DRC is committed to supporting students with
disabilities at UNLV through the appropriate
use of advocacy, accommodations, and
supportive services to ensure access to
campus courses, services, and activities. To get in touch with the DRC, request services, or even volunteer in assisting a fellow classmate with disabilities, you can visit their website at https://www.unlv.edu/drc and login to the DRC portal.

This week's spotlight is a very important resource offered here at the university that we hope can be of support to those in need. This week we want to highlight The Care Center at UNLV. The Care Center offers confidential virtual support services, holistic healing workshops, campus education and awareness events to members of the UNLV, NSC, and CSN communities impacted by sexual violence, relationship violence, family violence, and/or stalking. They offer services such as:

Healing through Connections which is a program that offers holistic healing tools and collaborates with community healers to offer workshops, outdoor retreats, and digital resources.

The Care Advocate Training Institute which is an immersive training and professional development program that is designed to prepare students for the role of the confidential campus advocate: hold space for clients, ensure personal safety, identify needs and possible resources, create plans together, and educate peers.

We recognize how difficult this topic can be and hope that these resources can provide solace and support to those affected. For more information and resources, visit The Care Center at www.unlv.edu/carecenter or visit https://www.unlv.edu/studentwellness/health-center/crisis for crisis and emergency services.
